Answer:
-3x + y = 8.
3y = 9x.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the lines we convert to slope-intercept form, which is
y = mx + c (m is the slope.)
The slope of y = 3x + 5 is therefore 3.
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Finding the slope of the given lines:
-3x + y = 8
y = 3x + 8 - slope is 3 so this is parallel to y = 3x + 5.
3y = 9x
Divide through by 3:
y = 3x - so this is also parallel to 3x + 5.
y = -jx The slope is -j so it is not parallel.
16x + 2y = 12
2y = -16x + 12
y = -8x + 6 - Not parallel.
Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for hours, and the second mechanic worked for hours. Together they charged a total of . What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was per hour?
Answer:
The rate charged by first mechanic per hour= x =$85
The rat charged by second mechanic per hour =y = $70
Step-by-step explanation:
Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together they charged a total of $1900. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $155 per hour?
Solution
Let
x= hourly rate of the first mechanic
y= hourly rate of the second mechanic
Derive two equations to solve for the two unknowns
10x + 15y = 1900 (1)
x + y = 155 (2)
From (2)
x + y = 155
x=155-y
Substitute x=155-y into (1)
10x + 15y = 1900
10(155-y) + 15y =1900
1550 -10y + 15y =1900
5y =1900-1550
5y=350
Divide both sides by 5
y= 70
Substitute y=70 into (2)
x + y = 155
x + (70) =155
x=155 - 70
= 85
x= 85
The rate charged by first mechanic per hour= x =$85
The rat charged by second mechanic per hour =y = $70
A factory costs $280,000. You forecast that it will produce cash inflows of $80,000 in year 1, $140,000 in year 2, and $220,000 in year 3. The discount rate is 12%. What is the value of the factory?
Answer:

Year 1=$80,000
Year 2=$140,000
Year 3=$220,000
r=12%=0.12
Year 1:
PV=80,000 / (1+0.12)^1
=80,000 / 1.12
=$71,428.57
Year 2:
PV=140,000 / (1+0.12)^2
=140,000 / (1.12)^2
=140,000 / 1.2544
=$111,607.14
Year 3:
PV=220,000 / (1+0.12)^3
=220,000 / (1.12)^3
=220,000 / 1.404928

A hiker starts walking due west from Sasquatch Point and gets to the Chupacabra Trailhead before she realizes that she hasn't reset her pedometer. From the Chupacabra Trailhead she hikes for 8 miles along a bearing of N27°W which brings her to the Muffin Ridge Observatory. From there, she knows a bearing of S38°E will take her straight back to Sasquatch Point. How far will she have to walk to get from the Muffin Ridge Observatory to Sasquach Point, to the nearest tenth of a mile?
Answer:
9.05 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given :
Let represent S for Sasquatch Point
Let C represent Chupacabra Trailhead
Let M represent Muffin Ridge Observatory
The diagram for the bearing of the information given can be seen in the attached file below.
At angel C = 90° -27° = 63°
The Alternate angles are shown in the second diagram below.
In order to determine the distance she will have to walk from the Muffin Ridge Observatory to Sasquatch Point, we use the sine formula:
[tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{sin \ C }{c} = \dfrac{sin \ S}{s}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{sin \ 63 }{c} = \dfrac{sin \ 52}{8}}[/tex]
By cross multiply
8 × sIn 63 = c× sin 52
[tex]\mathtt{c = \dfrac{8 \times Sin 63}{Sin \ 52}}[/tex]

Donavan and Jones are randomly choosing chalices to drink from. 4 of the chalices contain purified water, 5 contain spoiled milk, and 6 contain diluted flat soda. Jones gets to choose a chalice from the remaining ones after Donavan drinks from 3 of them. If the chances of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is then 1/3, how many of the chalices that Donavan drank out of contained purified water?
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Chalice with purified water = 4
With spoiled milk = 5
With flat soda = 6
Probability of Jones drinking from a chalice with purified water after Donovan had drank from 3 = 1/3
Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Total possible outcomes = (4 + 5 + 6) = 15
After Donovan drinks 3 :
Total possible outcomes = (15 - 3) = 12
If the probability of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is 1/3 then :
(Required outcome / Total possible outcomes) =1 /3
(Required outcome / 12) = 1 / 3
Required outcome * 3 = 12
Required outcome = 12 / 3
Required outcome = 4
Therefore, since initial number of chalice with purified water is 4,
4 - 4 = 0
Then Donovan did not drink from a chalice containing purified water.
MATT plans to put concrete on a regular portion of his driveway. The portion is 8 feet long and 4 inches high. The price of concrete is $98 per cubic yard. The total cost of the concrete that needs is $58.07.
THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;
Matt plans to put concrete on a rectangular portion of his driveway. The portion is 8 feet long and 4 inches high. The price of concrete is $98 per cubic yard. The total cost of the concrete Matt needs is $58.07. Which of the following is closest to the width of the portion of the driveway on which Matt plans to put concrete?. . [1 foot = 12 inches; 1 yard = 3 feet]. a. 0.5 feet. b. 1.5 feet. c. 3 feet. d. 6 feet
Answer:
OPTION D is correct
d)6feet
Step by step Explanation:
We were given The price of concrete as $98 per cubic yard
Price= $98 /yrd³
But 1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet
Square both side we have,
Then 1yrd³ = 27 ft³.
So we can use this conversion factor to convert $98 /yrd³ to per ft³ as follows
$98 /yd³) ×(1 yrd³ / 27 ft³) = $ 98/27/ft³
If we denote the width of the portion as "y"
then the volume of the rectangular portion of the driveway =
= (8 ft) (1/3 ft) x = 8y/3 ft³
But we're given The total cost of the concrete Matt needs as $58.07,
Total cost = $58.07 = (8y/3)(98/27)
y= 5.99957 ft= 6feet
Therefore, the width of the portion of the driveway is 6feet
. In an extra-curricular club with 15 members,7 people played rugby, 6 people played soccer and 4 people neither play rugby nor soccer. How many people played both rugby and soccer?
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
In the above question, we are given the following information:
Total member in the club = 15
Rugby = n(R) = 7
Soccer = n(S) = 6
Neither Rugby nor Soccer = 4
Rugby and soccer = n( R ∩ S) = (Unknown)
Total number of club members = n(R) + n(S) - n( R ∩ S) + Neither Rugby nor soccer
15 = 7 + 6 - n( R ∩ S) + 4
15 = 17 - n( R ∩ S)
15 - 17 = - n( R ∩ S)
-2 = - n( R ∩ S)
n( R ∩ S) = 2
Therefore, the number of people that played both rugby and soccer is 2
PLEASE help me with this question! This is really urgent! No nonsense answers please.
Answer:
Option A) A = 100(1.005)^12t
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for Total Amount obtained using compound interest is given as:
A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt
Where
A = Total amount received or obtained after investing
P = Principal or Initial Amount invested
r = interest rate
n = rate or number of times the interest is compounded
t = time in years.
In the question we obtained this values
P = $100
r = 6% = 0.06
n = compounded monthly, we have 12 months in a year, hence, n = 12
t = t
Using the compound interest formula for Amount A,
A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt
A = 100(1 + 0.06/12)^12 × t
A = 100(1 + 0.005)^12t
A = 100(1.005)^12t
Therefore, the value of Mari's Investment if the interest is compounded monthly is
A = 100(1.005)^12t
Hence, Option A is correct.
If it takes B hours to walk a certain distance at the rate of 3 miles per hour, the number of hours it takes to return the same distance at 4 miles per hour is...? Will mark brainlist
Answer:
It will take 0.75B hours for the return leg
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, given that the first leg of the trip was for B hours at 3 miles per hour , we want to calculate the number of hours the return leg will take at 4 miles per hour given that it is the same distance.
Mathematically, we know that ;
Distance = speed * time
So the distance taken on the first leg of the trip would be;
Distance = 3 miles per hour * B hours = 3B miles
Now, this distance was traveled on the return leg also.
This means that the time taken here will be;
Time on return leg = distance/speed = 3B/4 = 0.75B hours
if the area of the rectangle is 120, what is the area of triangle cpd
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
area of rectangle=120
find area of CPD
area=1/2 (area of the rectangle)
area = 1/2×120=60
The area of triangle CPD IS 30 square units.
If the area of the rectangle is 120, then the area of triangle CPD is 30.
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area = length × width
In this case, the length of the rectangle is 120/width.
The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
Area = (1/2) × base × height
The base of triangle CPD is the width of the rectangle, and the height of triangle CPD is half the length of the rectangle.
Therefore, the area of triangle CPD is:
(1/2) × width × (120/width) = 30
So the answer is 30.

B) Find the average vertical leap of all the athletes in their regular shoes. Give the experimental group the new shoes and the control group a different pair of shoes. Find the average vertical leap of the athletes in both groups. Compare the increases in vertical leap for each group.
C) Find the average vertical leap of a group of athletes in their regular shoes. Then give them each the new shoes and find their average vertical leap. Compare the before and after results.
Answer:
The correct option is (B).
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, we need to test whether the claim made by the new brand of gym shoe is correct or not.
Claim: A new brand of gym shoe claims to add up to 2 inches to an athlete’s vertical leaps.
So, we need to test whether the average vertical leap of all the athletes increased by 2 inches or not after using the new brand of gym shoe.
The sample procedure would be to compute the average vertical leap of a group of athletes in their regular shoes (or a different pair) and the average vertical leap of a group of athletes in their new shoes.
Compare the two averages to see whether the difference is 2 inches or not.
The experimental group would be the one with the new shoes and the control group would be the one with the different pair of shoes.
Thus, the correct option is (B).
Answer:
B) Find the average vertical leap of all the athletes in their regular shoes. Give the experimental group the new shoes and the control group a different pair of shoes. Find the average vertical leap of the athletes in both groups. Compare the increases in vertical leap for each group.

Thirteen people on a sports team show up for a game. a. How many ways are there to choose 10 players to play the game? b. How many ways are there to assign the 10 different positions by selecting players from the 13 who show up?
Answer:
a)286 ways
b)1,037,836,800 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
a. How many ways are there to choose 10 players to play the game?
We have to take note of a key word here which is CHOOSE. For question a, order does not matter.
Hence, we use the combination formula. This is given as:
C(n, r) = nCr = n!/r! (n - r)!
n = 13, r = 10
13C10 = 13!/10! (13 - 10)!
= 13!/ 10! × (3!)
= 13 × 12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 / (10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × (3 × 2 × 1)
= 1716/6
= 286 ways.
b. How many ways are there to assign the 10 different positions by selecting players from the 13 who show up?
For question b as well, we take note of a key word which is ASSIGN. For question b, order is very important.
Therefore, the formula we use is the permutation formula.
P(n, r) = nPr = n!/(n - r)!
n = 13, r = 10
13P10 = 13!/ (13 - 10)!
= 13!/ 3!
= 13 × 12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 / (3 × 2 × 1)
= 1,037,836,800 ways
Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. ( 1 -2g +4h)\cdot 5 =(1−2g+4h)⋅5=left parenthesis, 1, minus, 2, g, plus, 4, h, right parenthesis, dot, 5, equals
Answer:
5 - 10g + 20hStep-by-step explanation:
Given three elements A, B and C related together according to the expression A(B+C), according to distributive property, the element A will be distributed to the rest of the element as shown;
A(B+C) = A(B)+A(C)
A(B+C) = AB + AC (Law of distributivity)
Given the expression according to the question (1−2g+4h)⋅5, in order to use the distributive law to find the equivalent expression, we will use the concept above as shown;
= (1−2g+4h)⋅5
= 5.(1−2g+4h)
= 5(1)-5(2g)+5(4h)
= 5 - 10g + 20h
Hence the equivalent expression using the distributive property is 5 - 10g + 20h
Answer:
5 - 10g + 20h

You randomly select 8 employees and ask them if they judge co-workers based on this criterion. The random variable is the number of employees who judge their co-workers by cleanliness. Which outcomes of this binomial distribution would be considered unusual?
Answer:
The outcomes of this binomial distribution that would be considered unusual is {0, 1, 2, 8}.
Step-by-step explanation:
The outcomes provided are:
(A) 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 8
(B) 0, 1, 2, 7, 8
(C) 0, 1, 7, 8
(D) 0, 1, 2, 8
Solution:
The random variable X can be defined as the number of employees who judge their co-workers by cleanliness.
The probability of X is:
P (X) = 0.65
The number of employees selected is:
n = 8
An unusual outcome, in probability theory, has a probability of occurrence less than or equal to 0.05.
Since outcomes 0 and 1 are contained in all the options, we will check for X = 2.
Compute the value of P (X = 2) as follows:
[tex]P(X=2)={8\choose 2}(0.65)^{2}(0.35)^{8-2}[/tex]
[tex]=28\times 0.4225\times 0.001838265625\\=0.02175\\\approx 0.022<0.05[/tex]
So X = 2 is unusual.
Similarly check for X = 6, 7 and 8.
P (X = 6) = 0.2587 > 0.05
X = 6 not unusual
P (X = 7) = 0.1373 > 0.05
X = 7 not unusual
P (X = 8) = 0.0319
X = 8 is unusual.
Thus, the outcomes of this binomial distribution that would be considered unusual is {0, 1, 2, 8}.

E campsite shop also sells boxes of Pick-Me-Up teabags. The base of each box is a 120 mm square. The shelf where the boxes are displayed is a 65 cm x 35 cm rectangle. Work out the maximum number of boxes that will fit on the shelf.
Answer:
The maximum number of boxes that will fit on the shelf = 189 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
First, to harmonize the units of the dimensions given, let us convert the unit of the Pick-Me-Up teabags to cm.
1 cm = 10mm
1mm = 0.1cm
∴ 120mm = 0.1 × 120 = 12cm
Therefore, the base of each box is 12cm²
Next, let us calculate the area of the shelf.
Dimension of shelf = 65cm × 35cm
∴ Area of shelf = 65 × 35 = 2275cm²
Therefore, to calculate how many boxes will fit into the shelf, we will divide the area of the shelf by the area of the boxes of Pick-Me-Up teabag. This is shown below.
Area of shelf = 2275cm²
Area of boxes = 12cm²
Number of boxes that will fit on the shelf = Area of shelf ÷ Area of boxes
= 2275 ÷ 12 = 189.58 boxes
since there are no fractional boxes, we will round down to the nearest whole number of boxes.
Hence, the maximum number of boxes that will fit on the shelf = 189 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:
Ocean sunfishes are well-known for rapidly gaining a lot of weight on a diet based on jellyfish. The relationship between the elapsed time, ttt, in days, since an ocean sunfish is born, and its mass, M_{\text{day}}(t)M day (t)M, start subscript, start text, d, a, y, end text, end subscript, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, in milligrams, is modeled by the following function: Mday(t)=3.5⋅(1.05)t Complete the following sentence about the weekly rate of change in the mass of the sunfish. Round your answer to two decimal places. Every week, the mass of the sunfish increases by a factor of .
Answer:
1.4071
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between the elapsed time, t in days, since an ocean sunfish is born, and its mass is given by:
[tex]M_{day}(t)=3.5(1.05)^t[/tex]
This function represents an exponential growth increasing as the number of days increases since (3.5 > 1), it means that at day 0 , the mass of the sunfish is 3.5 milligrams and every day, its mass increases by a factor of 1.05.
Since the mass of the sunfish increases by [tex]1.05^t[/tex], therefore the mass of the sunfish increases every one week (that is 7 days) by a factor of [tex]1.05^{7} = 1.4071[/tex]
